Darling shivered; they weren't used to the cold. They came from a place that was very, very, very warm. Like, 120 degrees in the summer warm. Still, this would be fine. I mean, there would be snow at some point, right? They'd never seen snow. Wrapping their arms around their body, the demiboy glanced around. There were some signs of life -- not much, but they could deduce that a group of people lived further inward. They stopped, unsure of what to do. "Helloooo?" They called, smile on their face. Hopefully someone would hear; they weren't about to go trespassing (if they weren't already).

Six approached carefully, her katana banging against her hip as she walked, her half mask was on, concealing her mouth and partially her nose with its snarling design as she approached, looking for all the world a feral snow child.
[b]"mm, can I help you?" she asked, trying not to let her voice waver slightly - although she couldn't help the noise before the question, ingrained habit now like most all her idiosyncraticies.
She took some comfort in that if the stranger was indeed a danger, then the others back at the lodge would be quick to come if she called.
Mom had always taught her to be wary of strangers.
Mom had been killed by strangers.

"six, kiddo, don't get too close to strangers." he sighed softly. to him, ten feet was too close.

[align=center][div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 415px; color: black; font-size: 8pt; line-height:115%; text-align: justify;"]Darling could understand losing family members. Hell, they didn't know a normal family life. Death, murder, revenge. You know, the usual. Still, they smiled through it. Perhaps they smiled too much... Not fully dealing with loss, well, that could mess a man up.
The demiboy noted the strange mask she wore and her slight discomfort. "Hi, hi!" They cooed. "You know, someone so young shouldn't be out here all alone." They noted, creepy smile on their face as they rocked back on their heels and clasped their hands behind their back. "Bad things happen to kids by themselves, mhm." Still smiling, still looking... weird. They were prepared to talk more, when the bloodied, disgruntled older male approached. They remained unfazed.
"A little white vinegar will take those stains right out, friend." Darling said with a giggle. They nodded at Jack's words. "Mhm, mhm, like I was saying!" They said, nodding vigorously. "Hopefully I won't be a stranger for much longer, though!" They laughed. "I was hoping I could take refuge here? Do you have a place to stay?" They looked hopeful.

Six eyed the odd stranger, retreating back a little to fall in more in 76's shadow, the older man - even in spite of what had happened recently - was one of the few she felt she could trust, one of the few she knew here at the moment.
She bit her lip slightly - this one was odd but they couldn't exactly refuse entry on that basis and maybe that was just his demeanour, though one of her hands briefly moved to brush against her katana at what he said to her,
People who had said that to her before were usually the wrong sort.
But this one just seemed oddly vacant? To her so she would reserve her judgement for now, she was odd herself in her own way - nobody was ever normal really.
[b]"we live in flintlock, who are you -your name?" she wanted to know names before inviting someone into their home after all, although she granted them their place's name.

Johannes was glad to find the newcomer. Seeing Jack and Six talking to them, he was mildly worried. Or..more than mildly. Jack wasn't--Jack shouldn't be out here,not with his ribs, and not with the...many worries about his stability. He'd talk to him. But not now, not in front of this young man. He was glad that Six had fallen closer to him though--his own protective nature wanted to keep her a bit away from the stranger, though he didn't see anything from them yet that would give him warning bells. He glanced over to Six as she asked him his name, and almost smiled. She was picking this up fast. He just nodded at the stranger, waiting for an answer.

"I'm not here to cause any trouble, pal." They said, smiling. "I do have a name, yes!" They said, nodded enthusiastically. "But you can call me Darling." They said with a laugh. "So, what do you say? Can I join?" They asked, smile unwavering.

This 'Darling' character seemed odd, and Hux felt cautious around people who weren't already aqcuanited with him. He said quietly, tilting his head at the newcomer, "I suppose if you're not dangerous you should be able to join. Are you crazy? Cause you sure seem it." He said this very bluntly, his eyes half lidded and his hands tucked into his pockets, gently palming his scalpel, just in case.

A muscle under their eye twitched as they listened to him, insinuating they were crazy. "Well, friend, that's a rude thing to say!" Their voice was laced with a tone so sweet it was sickening. "'Crazy' is not a nice word. It demonizes mentally ill and otherwise neuroatypical folks, perpetuating the idea that everyone who doesn't fall into what society deems as 'normal' is violent and cruel." They spoke these words fast, smile unwavering. Their hazel eyes were wide and had an inking of anger behind them. "So, no, I'm not crazy, friend." Their hands were curled up into fists as they took a few steps closer, staring down Hux. "And, just between you and me, there are some dangerous people out here, so I would be careful who you go around and call crazy, hmm?"

Neuro...atypical.
Johannes hadn't heard the word before. And Darling went too fast for him to pick up much else; but the way they spoke, their voice and the words seemed so...fluid, almost. Practiced. Like it just sprang naturally from their mouth, which was something Johannes envied. He could see the bit of anger, and realized it must be Hux who had vexed--with the 'crazy' comment. He hadn't found himself much enamored with Hux, yet. The kid was..strange. Which maybe wasn't much better than 'crazy', but..hm.
"So. You'd like to join. I'm Johannes. Your name is--what? I didn't catch it. Sorry." He didn't smile, but he'd also lost his frown. He didn't think he minded this guy. "I'm not going to turn you away. Are you hungry--need anything? Food, uh, medicine--well, we. We don't have a lot of that, but. We do what we can."
